Anything on french schools as well?
I assumed you were British. There is a French school here which has a good reputation. Thier telephone number is: (+974) 4835800
You have good attitude towards this, just go with an open mind and see everything first hand. If you find QR not suitable as an employer then take the decision not take up the offer, just don't let the posters here influence your decision so you don't regret it in the future.
And about the housing, there are plenty of new compunds that have very good housing and excellent facilities for your family i.e. swimming pools, tennis courts playing grounds and Doha itself is very safe, and clean so you won't experience any problems. The best way to check out the housing is too see it first hand when you are in Doha.
BTW if you need any more help feel free to ask.
